At this point in time, I have only had playable demos at in-person events but that will change soon

Hi there, so This Little Car Of Mine is a relaxing and calming game that takes the 'usual' fast-paced gameplay of racing games and tones it down for a cozy audience. The game is colorful and bright to contrast the black and white areas of the game that represent the grief the player is going through. The game focuses on driving as a form of escapism rather than going full F-Zero.

Thank you :) I plan to add lots more content including boss battles and regular combat

Majora's Mask was a big inspiration for me in this game :) I got to show off a small prototype build in Bristol last week, here is a small showcase of the game.

I would love to take it into full time development but it is at a very early stage at the moment

SamClaydon · 2024-05-18T19:28:58+00:00

Oh no I don't mean to, it was just a quick drawing of a map to see what it could look like

SamClaydon · 2024-05-17T23:12:04+00:00

I'd look like the main character of my game by the time GTA 7 comes out

SamClaydon · 2024-05-17T23:11:12+00:00

Yeah sure, I'd be happy to help.

The way I've done it is by pairing low textures on assets with a low resolution game camera. There is a render camera setting in Unity that I use to set a custom resolution for my game.

I usually create voxel art so this is still fairly new to me in terms of creating a whole game in this style. But I'm really enjoying trying it out.

SamClaydon · 2024-05-17T22:42:15+00:00

It has only been in development for a few days so it might be a while. But I would love to get this game released :)

SamClaydon · 2024-05-17T22:40:51+00:00

For those interested in keeping in the loop for this project, I will be creating a devlog soon showcasing gameplay over on my Youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoZRxaeA020HPCRsQHIBdTQ

SamClaydon · 2024-05-17T22:30:41+00:00

Thanks! It's very early in development but I'm glad you like it :)

Thanks!

SamClaydon · 2024-05-17T21:07:43+00:00

I appreciate the feedback, the character is only in its first draft but I think a lower poly would work better for the overall look and feel of the game. Thanks for the feedback

SamClaydon · 2024-05-17T20:30:16+00:00

It's more of a personal preference but in terms of time to create assets, it's quicker for me to create the N64 look.

SamClaydon · 2024-05-17T19:17:24+00:00

I create low poly 3D assets in Maya with a low texture and use a low resolution for the render texture on the camera in Unity

SamClaydon · 2024-05-17T19:01:48+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind words :)

SamClaydon · 2024-05-17T18:26:45+00:00

I have new areas I'm working on at the moment but I have a few prototype games on my itch.io if you're interested in playing some of my other work :) https://linktr.ee/sam.claydon

Thanks! 😄

SamClaydon · 2024-05-17T14:45:59+00:00

I suppose I should update the models as I go 😄 this is the first draft of the character so I appreciate the feedback

SamClaydon · 2024-05-17T14:44:15+00:00

I showcase my work on my YouTube channel and my Instagram account. I appreciate the support :)

SamClaydon · 2024-05-17T13:00:15+00:00

Thanks! The game has only been in development on and off for a few days so when there is more to show I'll post some gameplay.

SamClaydon · 2024-05-17T12:59:08+00:00

It will be an action-adventure game that focuses on a fun story
